Seems fair i agree.

Pearson was allegedly sacked for a collapse in relationship with owner ship after his son was sacked for the racism in Thailand but going with your theory that could have just been a useful excuse?

I'll also agree on the odds, as even now Cardiff are only as long as 2000-1 (although that could be because Leicester won, so they no longer want to take huge risks.)

I don't see the Tom Hanks bit as i place bets on other teams despite being a Toon fan, but i think i see the point you are making.
